now that they've gone back to landing things successfully on mars rather than crashing them into it or getting them stuck a couple days into the mission I'm sure they'll be able to drum up some additional funds.

Maybe you can get the funds that used to go to NASA? Just mark out NASA on the form and write in Solyndra......guaranteed funding FTW!

Total devastation. Something got in there, or something is really loose to allow for that without damaging the case I would think.
Before I took the axles out, had it jacked in the air and rotated one side and woulda guessed it was this or the diff blew up as it did not want to rotate by hand.
I'll take the trans out to see what shape the diff is in... right now guessing it was a shard of reverse that got sucked off the magnet during the burnout and let go on launch.
OR the diff bearings are loose or something allowed miss-alignment/binding/kaBOOM
OR the pinion teeth had enuff...
The front bearing is also cracked, prob result of pinion carnage
Lengels shift fork pads look great!

thats all i needed, You're the man!
this concludes our threadjack, you may now return to carnage already in progress :P
Dang JT. You're going through the hard pieces fast enough to pay for a straight cut gear set pretty soon as it is.
If not debris, I'm going to guess case flex or some other alignment issue. That sux! Any idea what the diff preload was like the last time you had it out?
LOL, no problem! that car is awesome!
The next 568 is going in with a fresh OBX and 3.85 gears in hopes to finish the season... straight cut research has begun
I havn't measured it since I put it together, but will before taking the diff out... like your thinking, was wondering if it may be sloppy enough to improperly load the gears.

What are you doing with the old OBX, and how are you going to use the new one with the 3.85 gears?
If its OK, either shelve it for a future trans or sell it "sold as is" LOL
Got a 3.85 gear out of 523 from Jackson

It doesn't take much misalignment to focus the stress on the edges of the teeth. They are quite brittle, so I imagine they eventually fatigue. I'm pretty sure that's how I exploded 2nd gear in my A520 on the CSX. A little different though, since that was probably due to input shaft misalignment from retainer plate flex. That surely wasn't the case here. Going with the 3.85 set will give you a little more tooth engagement, too.
Since you don't really drive it anywhere, I would probably set the preload abnormally high to help compensate for any case flex. Good luck!
